EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT Saturday 8:30 9:00 AM Our Lady of Częstochowa Chapel The rulers sneered at Jesus and said, "He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Christ of God." Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine they called out, "If you are King of the Jews, save yourself." - Lk 23:35-37 Sunday: 2 Sm 5:1-3/Col 1:12-20/Lk 23:35-43 Monday: Dn 1:1-6, 8-20/Lk 21:1-4 Tuesday: Dn 2:31-45/Lk 21:5-11 Wednesday: Dn 5:1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28/Lk 21:12-19 Thursday: Dn 6:12-28/Lk 21:20-28 Friday: `Dn 7:2-14/Lk 21:29-33 Saturday: Rom 10:9-18/Mt 4:18-22 Next Sunday: Is 2:1-5/Rom 13:11-14/Mt 24:37-44 OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE As we gather today at God s invitation, we celebrate Christ our King. At a time when governments come under more suspicion and scrutiny than ever, applying a temporal title to our Lord and Savior might not seem wise. But this feast was founded as a reaction to global political upheaval in the twentieth century, as a reminder that Christ calls us beyond all earthly rule to a higher allegiance. Let us reflect today on who is king in our life. Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day this Thursday. This week will be one of the busiest for travel. Local news channels will broadcast stories about Thanksgiving meals and also about the poor who will be served by others. The president will pardon a turkey. Stores will gear up for Black Friday sales and a big shopping weekend. Financial markets in the United States will be closed down Thursday and have shortened hours on Friday. The collision of sentiments of gratitude and crass commercialism on a single weekend can make for a certain incongruence in one's experience of these few days. As we celebrate the feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, we are presented with a seemingly huge incongruity in the Gospel that is proclaimed this year. We celebrate a great King, and in our human experience when we hear of a king we think of fine robes, sumptuous feasts, grand castles, and scores of courtiers and servants. The Gospel today gives us a broken man, abandoned by his friends, condemned, reviled by a criminal, and hanging on a cross. This is the King we honor today. Thank God that we can live with a certain amount of dissonance in our lives. It is what allows us to hold in balance seemingly contradictory notions, like the fact that a crucified man is our Lord and King. One of the criminals crucified with Jesus asks that he be remembered when Jesus comes into his kingdom. That plea, uttered near the moment of his death, has become a prayer for Christians through the centuries, because we believe that the death of Jesus was not the end. We believe that his death was just the beginning, ushering in a new kingdom, and promising a new life that can be ours if we submit ourselves to the rule of this universal King. The promise Christ makes to the repentant thief is the promise he makes to us: we will be with him in paradise Liturgical Publications Inc
